Scan Tool Review: Offline Repair Info (4)

 One of the first scan tools based on an Android operating system was the OTC Encore in 2013. Quickly became my favorite tool right up until the loss of support in 10/24. I think it was Android 4.2.2 and had lost its usefulness as far as being further updated. So while the tool is still very useful in diagnostics right up to 2024 models, some of the Android features became outdated before the 2024 cut off. The email app was no longer considered safe as were some of the web servers denying the outdated Firefox version access. I have noticed that iATN link still works but for this topic of offline repair information I'll just have to give the Encore an honorable mention. It was amazing in its heyday and still a great tool in other aspects but no longer a repair information database heavyweight. 






Thanks for reading!
